Skirts are much narrower than
they were last year.
Much plaiting is used in skirts.
The most popular materials for
street and day gowns are serge,
georgette crepe, satin and Jersey.
Georgette crepe is combined with
each of the other materials and

can scarcely tell whether, they were

combinations in gowns.
